NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



was awarded a silver medal in group 112. This collection was 

 designed to show the life history and habits in particular of the 

 more injurious species affecting valuable forest trees, and one 

 tray was given to characteristic insects of the Adirondacks. Spe- 

 cial effort was made to depict, so far as possible the life history, 

 habits and methods of work of those forms of economic importance 

 and to show whenever practicable the natural enemies of value 

 in keeping these species in control. A brief catalogue of the 

 exhibit is given below. 



Insect galls 



This collection, occupying two nearly perpendicular trays and 

 representing the work of 53 species, was devoted to the peculiar 

 vegetable deformities produced by insects, since these forms are 

 always of great popular interest.
